anti-incumbency THREAT to tdp?
Although the TDP government is grappling with the post-bifurcation woes with aplomb, however, the political prospects for the yellow brigade does not seem to be encouraging.
New Delhi: Although the TDP government is grappling with the post-bifurcation woes with aplomb, however, the political prospects for the yellow brigade does not seem to be encouraging. A survey undertaken by the Centre for Media Studies research house, New Delhi, on the two-year TDP rule in the State indicates that the voters’ interest in party has come down significantly in comparison with the support it enjoyed in 2014.
But the ‘People's Assessment Report’, released here on Thursday, further points out that the waning of support for the ruling party could be not be encashed by the Opposition, particularly the YSRCP. Consequently, there exists a vacuum in the State’s political landscape. A good number of respondents, who took part in the survey, believe that their sibling Telugu State, Telangana, is way ahead in terms of performance and development.
According to them, K Chandrasekhar Rao’s government in the new State is performing well than that of N Chandrababu Naidu’s in the truncated State. The report says Naidu is ambitious no doubt, but there is no evidence of the State gearing up to future challenges and opportunities in taking advantage of digitisation, solar power and water conservation policies “Efforts of Naidu’s government in building Amaravati are highly appreciated but the 'big picture' has not overwhelmed the people as they are not sure whether a big capital city means better governance and more access to people.
They are also apprehensive of the Capital issues as they suspect that all is not really well with the goings-on,” the report points out. Chairman of the organisation Dr N Bhaskar Rao said: "Going by these findings, there is no indication that Chandrababu has consolidated his political prospects in the State though constantly tours districts in the State. An 'events and incidents' orientation to governance is unlikely to sustain schemes or make a difference in the future."
This study was conducted in mid-March, 2016 at two levels, first with opinion makers at district level who are not functionaries of any political party and the next, with the carefully selected voters who were personally interviewed using a structured questionnaire with scope for spontaneous responses.
